Buried at wa.Keeney.

Edward Haigh died at Alton, Osborne
county, In this state, last Saturday, OF
Brighfs disease of the kidneys. He be-
longed to the order of Odd Fellows, and
the members of that body at Alton took
charge of his remains, and telegraphed to
Wa a-Keeney concerning his death, stating
that the remains would be sent here by
express for burial. They arrived Monday
evening, and were taken in charge by the
Odd Fellows, guarded by them that night,
and buried the next afternoon under their
auspices. Minister Mahaffie preached the
funeral sermon at the NJ. e. church just
before the remains were taken to their
last resting place, in the city cemetery,
and there placed beside those of Mrs.
Haigh, who died in this city early in 1880,
we believe.
Mr.. Haigh's life was insured in the A.
@. q. w. for $4,000. He had some
other property, we understand. Two
children, son and a daughter survive
him. The latter is about sixteen years of
age, the son younger. They were here at
the burial. Their home is in Russell.
We are told that Mr.. Dawson, of the Rus
sell Record, and his mother, with whom
they are living, accompanied the children
to Wa-Keeney this week.
Mr.. Haigh was good miller. He op-
Grated G. F. Schepeles grist mill at Wa
